Understanding of design and functioning of important catalytic applications in the field of energy, environment, and chemical production. Integration of fundamental and engineering aspects for the development of catalytic devices and processes.

Chemical Engineering provides an introduction to production and process design. Beyond different types and operation of chemical or bio-reactors, issues of scaling, new synthesis methods and problems of industrial production are addressed. An introduction in heterogeneous catalysis and transport of impulse, mass and energy connect the new concepts to the basic education in chemistry and biology.

The 'Chemical Product Design' course teaches students quantitative concepts to analyze, select and transform theoretical concepts from chemistry and engineering into valuable real-world products. Basic chemistry and chemical engineering knowledge is required (Diffusion, Thermodynamics, Kinetics, ..).

This course provides a detailed understanding of- development of T and B cells- the dynamics of a immune response during acute and chronic infection- mechanisms of immunopathology- modern vaccination strategiesKey experimental results will be shown to help understanding how immunological text book knowledge has evolved.
